Hi Dan,

I replied to you on Talk:Believe_It_or_Not%21 and I agree with your comment about the automatic text on blank pages. It's a good idea that we should implement.

RE:
 * Thanks for the info. About the template text - it even appears here when I click the + tab in your talk page. I think it should be easy enough to limit the feature by namespace, as many WP extensions seem to be ns specific. BTW, did you ever consider installing something like 'liquid threads' to make discussion more 'fully featured'? I played with it on a small wiki, and it worked OK, but when you install it you loose all old discussions. For a while I wanted to merge something like PHP BB with WP to create a forum 'channel' for each page, which should be simple enough to do... --Dan Bolser 10:58, 5 January 2009 (IST)

Agreed about the template text. I'll email/message you when we have it updated. As to liquid threads, we've never considered anything like that, although its clear that the current MediaWiki system of messages is less than intuitive to say the least. We'd be hesitant to make large changes whose stability is not guaranteed, but if you think this is something we should look into, please link me to the appropriate places where I can read more about it.
